will switch places with




from August 30-September 4.

WOW!!!!

Ok, now I know a lot of you, ok maybe all, will have no idea who either one of those people is...so let me explain!

Ben Vereen, who is currently playing the Wizard on Broadway, will take to the Chicago stage from August 30-September 4 and Gene Weygandt, who is the Wizard in Chicago, will go perform on Broadway for him!

The reason for this is Ben Vereen asked the producers if they could do that because he has an ailing relative in Chicago he'd like to be closer to. First of all...aaaawwww, how nice is that of the producers!? Second of all...HOLY COW! I wish I was single and had money...I would be in Chicago like THAT!

It's Ben Vereen folks! Amazing, world-renowned Broadway and television actor. Zoobilee Zoo anyone?! He's Mayor Ben! (A Zoobile Zoo post will come pretty soon here, I have some funny stories).

Gene Weygandt, who we saw, is my favorite Wizard ever, and I've heard them all so far. Better than what I've heard of Ben Vereen, but the fact still remains that it's Ben friggin' Vereen!

Here's his bio:

Triple-threat Vereen has appeared on Broadway in I'm Not Rappaport (his straight play debut), Fosse (a performance which was taped for DVD), Jelly's Last Jam, Sweet Charity, Hair, Grind, Jesus Christ Superstar and Pippin. For the latter show, also featuring a score by Schwartz, Vereen won the Tony and Drama Desk Awards for Best Actor in the Musical in 1973. He has also appeared as The Ghost of Christmas Present in the Madison Square Garden production of A Christmas Carol, and film and TV credits include Funny Lady, "Roots," All That Jazz, and "Zoobilee Zoo."



I am SO jealous of those who get to see him in Chicago! Wow!

Sweeney Todd is back on Broadway! Does theatre life get any better than this? It's one of my all-time favorite shows AND...AND...AND! Michael Cerveris is going to be playing Sweeney Todd himself! MY GOD! I can't wait to hear that (not that I have any way to hear it...*clears throat*).

Michael Cerveris is a musical theatre god! He has SUCH a powerful voice (hear him in Titanic or Assassins and you will know) and his acting is spot on and so convincing. Phew! Can't wait!

Patti LuPone is playing Mrs. Lovett -- eh, so what. She's good, but she played in in the recent show they did for PBS that aired and came out on DVD (I have it if someone wants to see it). She's good, of course, but eh...someone new please. She played opposite Geroge Hearn, the second and by all account original Sweeney Todd. He is perfection in Sweeney, but I can't wait to hear Michael!

Also of excitement in the cast is Alexander Gemignani who will be playing The Beadle, a part I love. He was John Hinckley in the revival of Assassins as well, loved him in that!

Some other Sweeney's of note: (there's way more than this, but these I remember)
Len Cariou
George Hearn
Timothy Nolen
Mark Delevan

Here it is in all it's glory folks:

Tom Viertel, Steven Baruch, Marc Routh, Richard Frankel, and the Ambassador Theatre Group, Adam Kenwright & Tulchin/Bartner/Bagert Productions announce that Tony Award winners Patti LuPone and Michael Cerveris lead a ten member cast in the upcoming Broadway production of SWEENEY TODD, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

SWEENEY TODD has music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by Hugh Wheeler from an adaptation by Christopher Bond. The production is directed and designed by John Doyle, with music supervision and orchestrations by Sarah Travis. SWEENEY TODD opens at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on Thursday, November 3 following preview performances from Monday, October 3.

Rounding out the ten member cast are: John Arbo (Jonas Fogg), Donna Lynne Champlin (Pirelli), Diana DiMarzio (Beggar Woman), Manoel Felciano (Tobias Ragg), Alexander Gemignani (The Beadle), Mark Jacoby (Judge Turpin), Benjamin Magnuson (Anthony Hope), Lauren Molina (Johanna).

This production of SWEENEY TODD arrives on Broadway from a highly successful London engagement originally staged by the Watermill Theatre, which transferred first to the Trafalgar Studios in London in July 2004 to wide critical acclaim, then into the West End where it ran for a limited engagement closing on February 5, 2005.

This production, which marks the first time SWEENEY TODD has been seen on Broadway in over 16 years, is innovatively staged with 10 talented actor/musicians. "Never has Sondheim's miraculous music theatre been presented more inventively than here," said the London Sunday Times.

SWEENEY TODD is based on the 19th century legend of a London barber, who is driven to crime when a malevolent judge takes his wife and child from him. His plan for revenge includes a cutthroat partnership with Mrs. Lovett, an enterprising businesswomen, who is soon producing the tastiest meat pies in London.

Tickets are available to holders of an American Express card beginning August 21 by calling Telecharge.com at (212) 239-6200.

Audition went fine, I got in. So that's exciting. Rehearsals start Thursday and it'll be great to sing in a choir again. Especially great that it's an auditioned choir, so you know, no unfortunate singers that sometimes join community choirs :-) The only bad thing about this choir is you have to have a black tux. I don't have a black tux!! She said a lot of the guys just went to the formal wear stores and bought a used one they were selling...I still don't want to do that.

Veronica's auditions went well. She auditioned for "James and the Giant Peach" and "The Pavilion" and got a callback for both. She can't do the callback for "James and the Giant Peach" because she has to friggin' work! But she got what seems like a special call back during the afternoon in the director's office just for "The Pavilion" which has 3 male roles and 1 female role. So, she auditioned for the female role, and then she was sitting waiting to audition for "James and the Giant Peach" and the stage manager of "The Pavilion" came out and said the director wanted to hear her for the Narrator, which is a male role than can be played by a female, so she got that part and was sitting and going through it before going back in, and the assistant director (who is a friend of both of ours and was in the dinner theatre with us last year) came out and told her the director wanted to hear her for Cherry, the female role, again instead! Which is good! Veronica said she didn't feel like she read the role very well and Adam, the assistant director said that she did but that the director didn't feel a connection and oops, he probably shouldn't have told her that! lol. so that was cool. So she went back in and did it, and better with a connection, and the director said much better and that she wanted to see her again tomorrow.

So, I HOPE SHE GETS IT!! That would rock. In fact, I hope she gets both shows, James and the Giant Peach would be great to take Kaia too and see Mommy in. :-)

Daughter Dies When Dad Has Heart Attack and Falls On Her

This about me me cry for real. If I let my mind think about that and what it must be like for the mom. What it must have been like FOR THE DAUGHTER then I will start crying.

I can't read any more news today, I just can't handle it.

I'm way too emotional today, this sucks.

Jeez...what I thought was going to be laid back is starting to make me nervous.

I'm auditioning for the Ames Choral Society tonight. I had talked with the director and she's REALLY nice and I thought I was just auditioning and chances are I'd get in.

Well, I talked to her today and she's still really nice, but there are people auditioning before me and after me and she'd rather hear me sing an "artsy" song. I told her one I had in mind and she thought that would be ok. She wanted to know if I knew any Italian songs and I said I only sang one and it is a duet.

I know I sing good
I know I sing quiet easily well enough for this choir

How do I show her that?!

I know if I can nail this song (which I haven't sang since sophomore year of college a good 4 years ago) then that'll be good, but I don't think it shows my voice like others.

I know she's going to have me do scales, which I'll nail and then show her how much of an asset to this choir I can be. Because I can go forever high on scales and people are always impressed, so I hope I have that going for me.

I know she's going to have me do sightreading, which I don't fancy all that much, but hopefully I can bluff my way through that.

Dammit, I'm nervous now! I know I can sing well, I know I can do this choir, but auditioning has ALWAYS sucked for me. Especially for people who don't already know my voice, people who haven't heard me sing for years now. I do very well in choirs...I just need to show her that!!

So...wrong. I just think they are majorly wrong.

I don't even think I could do it if my kid had a mental handicap of some kind. Just looks and acts so wrong. Putting your kid on a leash...come on. Hold their hands, watch their every move if you're as protective of your kid as I am of mine, but don't put them on a leash!

Well, it's also that time again for Des Moines and the good 'ol Civic Center! This year's Broadway Series is a little...eh. They are good shows, believe me, just not ones I'm jumping up and down about like in previous years and like at this years for Ames. Let's take a quick look at the line up:



Doctor Doolittle...October 18-23. Now, there is suppose to be a pretty decent size-named musical theatre actor playing the good Doctor, but I can't remember. I'll have to go back through my sites I go to to look up that info.

Now me, being a musical theatre junkie/geek, I'd like to go to it, probably in the cheap seats since it's not that exciting, just to go to it. I want to see what it's like. I want to see as much theatre as I can and this should be interesting and, for me, all musicals are fun to go to...just some more than others.

If there is time and money we'll go.

Edit: ah yes, Tom Hewitt. Played the title role in Broadway's Dracula, The Musical (yes it was a big flop) last year and was in RHPS. See, just a decent-size name in professional theatre. WOuld like to say I've seen him though. I'll try to get to this one.



What a crappy logo they got for Cats, it's not even their logo. They can do better than that...but that's besides the point.

So V and I saw cats, I think 3 years ago, in Ames. We went and saw it because we're both theatre people (hope to be working in theatre sometime in our lives) and so it's a staple and we had to go...it was ok. It's Cats, either you love it or don't care if you ever see it again. We're the latter.

I highly doubt we'll go to see this. November 22-26.



Little Shop of Horrors, December 13-18.

Once again...where's the damn logo?! Though, being a geek, I know that picture is of Jonathan Rayson who is currently Seymour in the tour. I recognize him because we went to see this in our recent trip to Chicago to see Wicked.

It was good theatre. Little Shop is good clean classical theatre. It's nothing too over-the-top exciting like other shows, but it's good to go see!

If there's time and money we'll go, I'd like to see it again. But it's not guaranteed.



There we go! A logo!

The Lion King - March 3 - April 9...yeah this is their big pull this year, along with, somewhat, Hairspray, which I'll get to in a bit.

I'm excited about this, this is what excites me the most about this year at The Civic Center...but it doesn't excite me WAY much, like a lot of other things.

We just missed going to this in Chicago because we went to Wicked a 2nd time instead (Because I wont lotto for front row seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

I'd love to see this, it's huge spectacle and I like the songs and it's just a good show. It's a Disney show, it's huge spectacle.

Definately, if nothing is conflicting the schedule (though I doubt something can take up a whole damn month worth of performances) then we will be going to this!



Hairspray...April 25-30

You know, I"m just not into Hairspray. I've listened to the music. Big stars have been and are in the Broadway show (Harvey Firestein, Bruce Vilanch, etc) and big Broadway names that no one but me would know. AND it won a bunch of Tonys...but I just don't care much about this musical. I guess it's just not my kind of musical.

I'll go see it anyway. Because it is nice, it's fun and it will definately be worth the time and money (though I think every professional show is) and it's definately a show to see, I'll be glad I saw it, just not one of my top shows TO see.



This is the last show, I'll come explain it later, I actually ran out of time to even finish...

It's musical season!!! We have known this for quite some time, known which shows were coming to the Civic Center and Stephens Auditorium, but I bring this joyous news to you because now they are actually within a month of starting.



Yesterday we got tickets to Miss Saigon in Ames at Stephens Auditorium. 3rd row for $19/ticket. :-D We JUST saw this in Des Moines when it was there a couple 3 or 4 months ago probably. LOVED IT!! Can't wait to see it again, and though I love to see new casts and new people, I would LOVE to have the same Engineer. He was perfection in that role, honestly, you're not going to find a better Engineer.

Phenomenal show, just really is emotional and tear-jerker and great, great, great.

Ok, so this is September 17th, and it's at 3 pm and 7:30 pm. We're going in the evening, join us won't you?



It's coming in October!!! OH YES WE"RE GOING! The Full Monty is SO hilarious and we saw it in Des Moines last year. And yes...they DO take it all off at the end. They rip away their little g-strings and right when they do a HUGE spolight shining right behind each individual guy turns on and you can't see anything...unless you're sitting at the very end of the firt row, then you can see around the spotlight to their little pee pees...not that my wife, sister and I know anything about that...:-)

SUCH a good show...SO pumped! This is also in Ames. October 29 at 7:30 pm. Be there.



Eh, its an ok show. I actually don't know too much about it and have never seen it before, so I might go for that reason. I just love pretty much all musicals, so I know I'd have a good time and I love the dancing, but if I don't go I wont be crushed.

Ames January 24 at 7:30 pm



I was SOOOO bummed I didn't get to see this when it was in Des Moines last year. It was tech weekend of a show I was doing in Story City and I couldn't go. Thoroughly Modern Millie is such a good show. Love the guys parts and Millie is phenomenal part for any woman to play. Great, more sophisticated show. SO happy I get to see it this time.

This is in Ames and it is February 11 at 7:30 pm! If you don't like all kinds of musicals but know you like to go to the theatre sometimes, this one is definately for you.



Eh, it's ok. I did it last year in Story City and so it might be fun to see a professional show of it, since I've never seen it except either high school or community theatre.

I think we'll go, but if we don't have the time or resources we're not going to freak out about it.

Ames...February 22 at 7:30pm.

I tried looking in the profiles of others who listed "theatre" "musicals" and "singing" as some of their interests.

I honestly couldn't find ONE who still existed and updated. It was frustrating! I looked through all these profiles and not one them was an active memeber anymore.

I tried "next blog"-ing and came back with SO MANY ads and foreign blogs. I did this a couple months ago and at least came up with a few normal people, but it's just getting worse and worse.

Guess I can't find people with similar interests as me, or people at all, to come to my blog and decide to stick around!

Bullied Kid Gets Rewarded $250K

It happens to almost everyone, and I"m sure far worse that what happened to this kid. I'm sorry, maybe I'm the only one that thinks this, but give me a break. I don't know the whole story, but I think the school could somewhat be held accountable, but come on...everyone gets bullied, picked on. Fights start, people are physically hurt at school and you don't see them go SUING crazy. Good lord.

Like I said, I don't know the whole story, but if the kid said something to the school officials and then they said something to the bullies, then what more can they do? Suspend or expell the bullies? Well then why don't THEY sue the school for taking away their education and whatever else the lawyers can dream up.

I can't hardly believe the kid did NOTHING to help his cause. I have to believe he said something to the school officials and action was taken.

since they only cost you about $.30 to make you little twerps.

Trying to Ban Burned CDs

I've been busy, what can I say? That's no excuse not to blog ;-)

We got in from WA at 3 am on Tuesday morning and I had to go to work that day, and then it was all downhill for sleep since then, I just can't catch up. Doesn't help that I go to bed at midnight or later.

Wednesday I had my interview for the Web Content Coordinator position! I'm VERY excited about this job. The interview went fantastic!! I'm pumped to hear back from them. If I get this job I will tell you all the cool facts, but I don't want to go in to it right now if I don't get the job.

Thursday was BB6 night :-D Boy is that getting good!! AND KAYSAR CAME BACK!!! WHATTUP KAYSAR!!!!!! It's just too bad that Ivette didn't go home on the same day, that would have been great.

And now today is Friday! I don't have anything planned for tonight.

Saturday, not much, except more BB6!!

Sunday I'm in a golf tournament, it's the one I'm usually in with my dad, but he just had knee surgery so I'm trying to find another partner. Will be fun anyhow, just not as much fun without my dad.

Have a good day!

The performances were good. Only one, Friday, was the worst. The monitors to pump the sound up to the stage were turned off, so I couldn't hear the piano for my second solo. First solo as ok. Men's chorus was ok and the barbershop quartet was less than stellar. All the other performances were good though.

I finally get to leave Tuesday morning to go to WA to visit the in-laws and sing/stand in my sister-in-laws wedding. I always have a good time when I'm out there, so I'm looking forward to it. Plus, I haven't seen my wife or my daughter in 2 weeks!!! Yay.

So I doubt I'll blog again until Tuesday the 9th. Toodaloo.

ETA: HA!! Just saw your comment Meritt. That is the best, very original. Thanks for making my day with that :-D
